FIFA.com popular in Latin America
Considering that Europe had 13 countries qualified for the 2010 FIFA, check out @Comscore‘s 
share of unique visitors chart in May 2010 for FIFA.com:
Although Latin America makes up only 8.6% of the total Internet population, it managed to deliver 39.2% of Fifa.com’s traffic in May. I also pulled a May 2010 website report for FIFA.com through Google Trends, and it listed the following top 10 countries delivering the most unique visitors –
- United States
- Brazil
- United Kingdom
- South Africa
- Germany
- France
- Mexico
- India
- Canada
- Colombia
Although the US ranks as the top region for the month on the site, it is perhaps Brazil, Mexico and Colombia driving the most combined traffic to FIFA.com.
If you check out the June 2010 Google Trends all region search report I pulled for Fifa.com below, you’ll see that 8 out of the 10 top regions are searches from Latin American countries. The same applied toward top cities, 9 out of the 10 top cities searching for FIFA.com are coming from Latin America as well. I’m not sure if it’s a bug, but Lithuanian pops up as the top language for the report.
Perhaps this might explain why I kept on encountering Latin American flags while playing FIFA World Football Trivia. Hey, from 675,000 registered users I’m ranked 2,927 for top quiz scoring!
Are Latin Americans more into gaming? Are they spending more time on the site? Is FIFA.com the most detailed and up-to-date web destination for those countries? Not sure, but the site did get a major facelift operation compared to the 2006 site which you can kind of see here through Internet Archive.
If you all haven’t dropped by FIFA.com lately, it offers a wide range of interactive multi-player games, fantasy football, detailed player and team information, custom avatars for registered users (as you can see mine above!), social networking integration, and plenty more.
